This is honestly probably the stance my brothers and I imitated the most
As a 90s kid, I did this stance the most too.
Yeah 100%
No doubt. The speed he whipped that bat around was impressive in itself
His and Griffey
This one and Soriano’s
That bat speed is honestly insane. He can do a half swing, pull back and do another full swing in the amount of time it takes the ball to get from the pitcher to the plate.
I swear he's moving the bat after the ball leaves the pitcher's hand, you are right. That is insane.
Gary is one of my favorite players ever. I used to imitate this stance, and hit the s*** out the ball.
He was on to something.
He got the most out of every swing... Violent and efficient.
His Son Noah's stance is the EXACT same!!!
definitely was onto something, that movement before the bat provides extra power and momentum. it's probably a less accurate swing (more strikeouts) but when you make contact the ball flies
6:24 is just crushed. His bat wag was timed perfectly. Like a predator stalking his pitching prey
Will always love his swing one of my favorites
He’s played for like half the teams in baseball. Everyone wanted sheff at one point.
Finally some sheffield Dodger home runs thank you and this man never struck out 100x in a season and has 500 home runs and still not in the hof? Smh
It’s because he took steroids I think
@@M10256 most likely
The media never liked Sheffield
Steroid rumors and he was an asshole to the media . To fans too dude was a dick when I was a kid but still was my favorite dodger lol
Man, I’m a huge Braves guy, but Florida Marlin Gary was always someone I loved to watch. Swing is perfection.
Gary Sheffield is onee of my all time favorite baseball players and playing baseball as a kid in the 1990s, I tried to imitate his batting stance such good times playing baseball 🌮 🧢 ⚾️
3 stances I usually do, Kevin Youkilis, Gary Sheffield, and Ken Griffey Jr.
The most violent swing ever. Whether it was a single or a grandslam each were the same. This man hit more aww it's just a line drive he's out, into holy crap thats a homer.
Top 5 swings in my generation: 1) Darryl Strawberry 2) Will Clark 3) Don Mattingly 4) Ken Griffey Jr and 5) Gary Sheffield
Fred mcgriff??
Barry bonds?!
Reggie Jackson?
For some reason most of the best looking swings were from left handed hitters (Griffey, Bonds, Jackson, Williams, Strawberry, Musial, Thome) but Sheffield was definitely one of the best from a righty.
Cano had a nice swing as well
The way he can time his wave to give him momentum in his swing
Gary Sheffield should be in the Hall of Fame.
His, barry bonds and jaun gonzalez were the ones i imitated most😉
I love around 2000 or 2001 when he opened his stance up I was probably 11 when I found him in 99 and I would record his games on my VHS and watch his hand positioning and everything in slow motion. Everyone always tries to imitate him but I would literally put money up against anyone that says I can do it better than them. Now as an adult that's kind of dorky as a kid it's just a kid being a kid with a favorite player haha but I've never seen someone really do a good job imitating him it's always exaggerated. I can do that shit perfectly I just can't hit like he can haha I would have loved to see that cast around when he played to just see how fast that that was going and how hard those balls were coming off the bat
He took more pitches yard off his shoe strings than any player I ever saw. Crazy bat speed that could get to any pitch. Be fun to watch him try to catch up to these guys throwing 100-104
1:06 the sound is crazy
Probably the most vicious bat speed I ever saw
As a right handed hitter growing up in the 90's and 2000's, this was one of the main stances you imitated growing up...
1. Sheffield
2. Manny
3. Galarraga
4. Guerrero
5. Pujols
For me it is strawberry ,Juan gonzalez , Ken griffey jr,bonds, sheffield,MO Vaughn And Vladimir sr
@@krlm2280 Oh yeah for sure Strawberry, Griffey Jr. and Barry Bonds if you were to include lefties for me.
Julio Franco
I’ll add Jeter to this list. Every little leaguer imitated jeters original front foot toe stance
I got to watch some of the greatest swings ever growing up. Will Clark(hated him) but beautiful swing, Mark Grace, Daryl Strawberry, Don Mattingly, and the most violent that scared pitchers other than Nolan Ryan, Gary Sheffeild and the purest swing ever Ken Griffey Jr.
My favorite swing beside griffey jr and mo vaughn
How many opposite field hrs have you seen him hit?
Do you smell what The Sheff is cooking? 👨🏾🍳
I feel like gary could've been a great boxer in a way. Face it his hands were fast and explosive and damn he was intense too.
Florida marlins world series run was awesome to watch
Goodness gracious, did he ever make weak contact?
No.1
MLB
Player！！！
physics wise does the technique generate more force with the momentum of it I wonder some of those balls were really crushed and it just seems like it’d be very hard to duplicate
Hips already turned so all he had to do was swing the bat as fast as possible!
They should have started with his stance as a 12 year old at the little league world series back in 1980.
Batspeed crazy
Just saw a clip of his son Noah hitting a walk-off home run, and he swings like his old man
I hit the same way.. because of him
how is he not in the hall of fame
Do you smell what The Sheff is cooking? 👨🏾🍳
he literally could had smack the ball outta the stadium
The Finest Sheffield hitter of all-time ⚾
NO.1
Its like a viper striking
Note to self: Dont imitate Gary Sheffields swing unless I want to hurt myself.
I wanna know his average exit velocity
Did he play for every team in the league at one point or the other??
another ballot
another blind eye to Gary Sheffield
compare his stats to the similar Vladimir Guerrero
the only one Gary has less of is batting average
he tops him in hits, homers, rbi, walks, ops, and plate appearences
They don’t like him because he didn’t take no shit! He’ll get in there eventually
Brewers fan here I forgot all about Gary Sheffield.
I completely forgot he played for the Brewers.
@@unkledoda420 I wish I can watch more Brewers games including more Fernando Viña y'know?
I K'd Sheffield in the minor leagues. True story.
Great career highlight
@@krlm2280 LOL... the 'career' didn't last very long unfortunately.
상남자
デビュー仕立ての頃はレンテリアみたいなスタンスだったんだね。
エドガー・シェフィールドｗ
Satisfying to watch when he connects.
I completely forgot Sheffield played for the Brewers. And the Braves. And the Tigers. And the Mets. Damn, did he play for half the teams in baseball.
